BW Visit Grant
A unique grant available for the incoming fall 2025 class.
A BW Visit Grant is one way that we welcome new students to campus and encourage all students and their families to see what campus has to offer. Visit grants are awarded to new first-year students who start in fall 2025 and visited campus by December 2, 2024. (Acting BFA students and BM/BME majors within the Conservatory of Performing Arts are not eligible for the BW Visit Grant.)
Earn a $2,000 Per-Year Grant
This grant is valued at $2,000 per year ($8,000 total over four years) and is in addition to any merit scholarships or special awards a student may receive. Please note, total gift aid may not exceed the cost of full tuition for 12-18 credits per semester and activity fees.
Visit Campus — Again or for the First Time
While the BW Visit Grant will be added to your financial aid package if you have already visited campus in preparation for starting in fall 2025, you are welcome to make return visits to campus.
